Wiha SoftFinish ESD 387ESD Bit Holder Manual Screwdriver Black Yellow Stainless Steel

The Wiha SoftFinish ESD 387ESD Bit Holder Manual Screwdriver in Black and Yellow is a precision tool engineered specifically for tasks involving electrostatically sensitive components. Designed as part of the Wiha SoftFinish ESD series, this manual screwdriver features a dissipative multi-component handle that safely controls electrostatic discharges to protect delicate electronic parts in ESD-protected areas. Built with a stainless steel bit holder, it combines durability with reliable mechanical locking to ensure bit inserts remain securely retained during operation.

Advantages

The screwdriver features a dissipative handle material with a surface resistance between 10^6 and 10^9 ohms, effectively preventing uncontrolled electrostatic discharges and safeguarding sensitive hardware. An integrated mechanical locking mechanism and CentroFix bit holder provide an extremely high retention force of up to 20 kg, ensuring bits stay firmly in place with virtually no play. The ergonomic multi-component handle includes roll-off protection and is designed for comfortable, balanced handling during extended use. Additionally, the tool supports true single-handed operation for efficient bit changes and enhanced productivity in professional environments.

Suitable for

• Working on electrostatically sensitive electronic components
• Electronics repair and maintenance
• Professional manufacturing and assembly lines
• Precise servicing tasks using C 6.3, E 6.3, or double bits

When it may not be suitable

This tool is not designed for heavy-duty construction, high-torque industrial tightening, or live electrical work where insulated VDE tools are required. It should not be used in environments outside of ESD-sensitive areas where electrostatic dissipation properties are unnecessary.

How to use

Select a compatible bit matching style C 6.3, E 6.3, or double bits, and insert it into the stainless steel bit holder until the mechanical locking mechanism engages securely. Hold the ergonomic multi-component handle firmly to perform manual fastening tasks while benefiting from the high retention force and single-handed operation capabilities. To change bits, release the locking mechanism with one hand, remove the current bit, and insert a new one.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your working environment requires ESD-safe dissipative tools
• Check that your existing bits are compatible with C 6.3 or E 6.3 standards
• Assess the physical dimensions and weight to ensure suitability for your hand size and task type

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the dissipative handle and stainless steel bit holder for any damage before use to ensure continuous protection against electrostatic discharges in sensitive areas.
